Soulcalibur 6 Gets a New Character in NieR: Automata’s 2B

NieR: Automata’s 2B is the latest guest character to land in Soulcalibur 6, Bandai Namco has announced this week.

Not happy with just Geralt of Rivia being the only guest character in Soulcalibur 6, Bandai Namco has unleashed NieR: Automata’s 2B onto unsuspecting players this week as part of a “confidential mission”.

Turns out 2B is coming to “Destroy the hostile entity, Soul Edge” so that’s a nice way to introduce the character, right?

For those wanting to know a little more about 2B, it’s a medium-hard pencil… oh, you mean the character? Yeah, okay whatever. 2B wields two swords, Virtuous Contract, and Virtuous Treaty, and her fighting ability has been “specifically designed” for combat against machine lifeforms with leaps and mid-air slashes, fast evasions, and coordinated strikes.

2B is available in Versus mode, Arcade mode, and Online Matches. She also comes with her own stage, background music, and customizations. She’s also available as part of the Season Pass or as a standalone character.
